- Thomas Gardner, the first of the Salem stock, came over in 1624 from Dorsetshire, England, near which the name had flourished for more than three centuries, and settled, under the auspices of the Dorchester Company and Rev. John White, with thirteen others, at Gloucester, Cape Ann, upon the grant of Lord Sheffield to Robert Cushman and Edward Winslow, made in January of that year. Mr. Gardner was overseer of the plantation, John Tyler of the fisheries, Robert Conant soon after being appointed governor. Not realizing the success they anticipated in forming a colony, they removed, in 1626, to Naumkeag, or Salem, which continued the home of Mr. Gardner and his descendants down to this present Century. He died in 1635.
- Thomas, his son, an eminent merchant, was born 1592, and died 1674. He held several town offices, and was a member of the general court in 1637. By his wives Margaret Frier and Damaries Shattuck he had: 1. Thomas, 2. George, 3. Richard, 4. John, 5. Samuel, 6. Joseph, 7. Sarah, wife of Benjamin Balch, 8. Miriam, wife of John Hill, 9. Ruth, wife of John Grafton. From these were many descendants. Joseph commanded the Salem company in King Philips's war, and commended for his courage by historians, was killed, with eight of his men and six other captains, in an attack on an Indian fort, in the great battle in the Narragansett swamp, December 19, 1675. His wife was daughter of Emanuel and sister of the celebrated Sir George Downing. His widow, about 1686, married Governor Bradstreet. It is probable that through this connection the noble house erected by the governor, of which an

- and Connecticut 325. Rhode Island was not "counted in," for reasons best known to our dear old Puritan fathers. Josiah Winslow, Esq., Governor of Plymouth Colony, was made Commander-in-chief of the army, and under him Major Samuel Appleton commanded the Massachusetts forces, consisting of six companies, viz.: Maj. Appleton's own, Capt. Mosely's, Capt. Joseph Gardner's, Capt. Nathaniel Davenport's, Capt. James Oliver's, and a troop under Capt. Thomas Prentice. Major Robert Treat commanded the Connecticut forces, five companies under Capts. Siely, Gallop, Mason, Wats; and Major William Bradford two Plymouth companies, his own and Capt. John Gorham's. The Massachusetts forces mustered on Dedham Plain, where, on Dec. 9, Gen. Winslow assumed command. There were then "465 fighting men," besides Capt. Prentice's troop. .....

- The fortification was strong and bravely defended, but nothing could resist the intrepid assaults of our forces, and after heavy losses and several hours' fighting, the Indians were either driven out or killed, the immense fortress and its huts and stores destroyed (foolishly it seemed to some at that time) , and in the evening our weary troops were forced to march back through the snow, carrying their wounded, to head quarters, whence they had marched in the morning. The suffering was incredible ; and I believe that if the whole history of that 19th day of December, 1675, were known, no braver day would stand in our country's annals for heroic daring and suffering. Six of the captains were killed — Davenport, Gardner, Johnson and Lt. Upham (mortally wounded) of Massachusetts ; Capts. Gallop, Siely and Marshall of Connecticut. Further account of the Massachusetts officers is referred to future articles of the series.

- CAPT. JOSEPH GARDINER AND HIS MEN.
- JOSEPH GARDINER was the son of Thomas and Margaret Gardner of Salem. He married before August, 1656, Anne Downing, daughter of Emanuel Downing and niece of the first Gov. Winthrop.
- He was a man of energy and ability, and held many positions of honor and importance in Salem. In May, 1672, he was appointed by the General Court of Massachusetts, lieutenant of the foot company under Capt. William Price of Salem (Mass. Colony Records, v. 517).
- ..... The fall of Capt. Gardiner is thus related in Church's " Entertaining History " :
- " Mr. Church spying Capt. Gardner of Salem amidst the Wigwams in the East end of the Fort, made towards him ; but on a sudden while they were looking each other in the face, Capt. Gardner settled down, Mr. Church stepped to him, and seeing the blood run down his cheek lifted up his cap and calling him by name, he looked up in his face but spake not a word, being mortally Shot through the head."
- After the death of Capt. Gardiner, the command of his company fell upon his lieutenant, William Hathorn, .....

- ' His widow, then aged about thirty-four, married June 6, 1676, Gov. Simon Bradstreet, whose age was about seventy-three. She died April 19, 1713, aged 79. Leaving no children, Capt. Gardiner's Narraganset claim fell to the oldest male heir of his eldest brother Thomas. This heir was Habakkuk Gardiner, son of the Captain's nephew Thomas, who in the list of claimants claims in the "right of his uncle, Capt. Joseph Gardiner." _______________________
- Simon Bradstreet (baptized March 18, 1603/4[1] – March 27, 1697) was a colonial magistrate, businessman, diplomat, and the last governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Arriving in Massachusetts on the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, Bradstreet was almost constantly involved in the politics of the colony but became its governor only in 1679. He served on diplomatic missions and as agent to the crown in London, and also served as a commissioner to the New England Confederation. He was politically comparatively moderate, arguing minority positions in favor of freedom of speech and for accommodation of the demands of King Charles II following his restoration to the throne.
- Bradstreet was married to Anne, the daughter of Massachusetts co-founder Thomas Dudley and New England's first published poet. He was a businessman, investing in land and shipping interests. Due to his advanced age (he died at 93) Cotton Mather referred to him as the "Nestor of New England".[2] His descendants include the famous jurists Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and David Souter.
- Early life
- Simon Bradstreet was baptized on March 18, 1603/4[1] in Horbling, Lincolnshire, the second of three sons of Simon and Margaret Bradstreet. His father was the rector of the parish church, and was descended from minor Irish nobility.[3] With his father a vocal Nonconformist, the young Simon acquired his Puritan religious views early in life.[4] At the age of 16, Bradstreet entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge. ......
- Bradstreet took over Dudley's position when the latter moved temporarily to Boston in 1624. On Dudley's return several years later, Bradstreet then briefly served as a steward to the Dowager Countess of Warwick. In 1628 he married Dudley's daughter Anne, when she was 16.[10]
- Family and legacy
- Bradstreet was buried in the Charter Street Burying Ground in Salem.[53] Poetry by his first wife Anne was published in England in 1650, including verses containing expressions of enduring love for her husband.[54] Anne Bradstreet died in 1672; the couple had eight children, of whom seven survived infancy. In 1676 Bradstreet married Ann Gardner, the widow of Captain Joseph Gardner, son of Thomas Gardner of Salem.[53] His many descendants include jurists Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and David Souter, U.S. President Herbert Hoover, and actor Humphrey Bogart.[55]
